Blue Angels and Michael

Have you ever had an angel reading and been told that ArchAngel  Michael, great protector and defender with his mighty sword is your angel?  Or had angel cards drawn by yourself  or others and find Michael, great defender keeps popping up?

This quite comforting for most..  To some it is quite worry-some as  they wonder what peril lies in their path  that they need or will need protection from.  

Personally and as  reader you should know that for some , Michael operates in a "secondary mode".  He operates in the area of Self expression and communication of all kinds - verbal, music and anything having to do with the mouth or ears,

If you client is a gifted listener and counselor (professional or otherwise), Michael is there and is responsible for the wise words that come just when needed most.  He can be found around  professors, inspirational speakers giving them words  they need.  Or with vocalists helping them hit the  high (or low) notes and making their particular rendition of a piece touch hears and make tears flow,

Some of  these people will admit to seeing flashes of blue - this is Michael.
Most have blue as their favorite color.
 
 Michael is indeed the great protector but he is also the supproter, sustainer and enable of the audio world.






 

Why Children See Angels & Adults Don't (Why Can't I See Angels Any More?)

Ever wonder why children report seeing
angels so often & adults do not?

Maybe young children across the globe have vivid imaginations and are just making up stories?

Perhaps you used to see angels but "lost" that ability in your teen years?

Angels ARE real. Here are 3 reasons why we think as adults that we can't see them:

1.  An angel will appear as best suits the situation....shiny wings and flowing robes are not always the dress code.  They often appear as a traveler able to assist in times of peril or need.  We may have experienced angelic assistance but not recognzed it.

2.  A child often has one or more "invisible friends".  These are indeed angels.  

As an example: My son had the "21 boys" and he always made sure they were all buttoned up in foul weather & they accompanied him at all times.  For a good eight  months I had to allow at least ten minutes extra to all our comings and  goings as he simply would no go anywhere without provision being made for the "21 boys" .

What happens?  As a child grows older, the "So what you want to be when you grow up?" fills his head.  He wants to be grown up like mommy or daddy.  Adults don't see angels so a child reasons to become an adult, he must leave behind his  childhood and his angels to  make it in the adult world.  So the angels are discarded along with the toys.  What a pity!

3.  There is also a physical/anatomical reason why adults have difficulty accessing angels or any of the psychic world.  The pineal gland, deep within the brain is responsible for producing substances which promote & support psychic  vision.  By the time most North Americans reach their teen years, this gland  has become a shriveled up non functioning pea sized  calcified lump.
This is because the pineal gland absorbs fluoride  (from our water and our tooth paste).  This fluoride coats the inner walls of the pineal gland causing it to calcify and become  unable to perform it's function.  Yes, this can be reversed by eliminating  your intake of fluoride from your day.  The biggest changes being to switch to a fluoride free tooth paste and put a filter on your water source or buy filtered water.

So, this has been a whirl wind over view of "Seeing  Angels 101"    Enjoy.

(Mis)Adventures with Angels -Appearances Can Be Deceiving

one of my "angel stories"
this one from my book
ANGELS, GUIDES, ANCESTORS available on Amazon

8 Angels:  Function & Appearance

Angels are incarnate beings, meaning they are, by definition, spiritual beings that take on a human form.  They are messengers sent from God.  They can deliver messages from God or be sent from God in a response to human need. 

One of the more difficult things about identifying angels is that they have been portrayed in so many different ways over the ages, it becomes difficult to know what we are looking for. 

Remember that angels are incarnate and they will take on whatever human-like form is necessary in order to fulfill God’s command.  They will appear to you in whatever way will be most understandable and acceptable to you.  One of my personal examples of this is as follows.

Due travel arrangements going very much awry, my sister and I found ourselves stranded after midnight at a bus station in a very seedy part of town - it was an area noted for muggings and robberies.  We were dressed to the nines, with a wheel chair, and obviously did not blend in with the crowd.  I was able to contact a wheel chair cab company just before my cell phone died; although we were hopeful that the cab would get there, we were not at all certain that it would be dispatched for at least half an hour.

We looked about to see where might be the best place to hide out.  We searched for somewhere we might see the transportation should it actually show up, while at the same time trying to be hidden from the bevy of panhandlers and those obviously inebriated and / or high on some form of pharmaceuticals.

We “surveyed the land” and saw there was only one suitable place to sit – one that did not have a body passed out in, over, or under it.  The location was outside, where snow was falling lightly; given the geography and time of the year, the bench outside was too cold for most of the people.  My sister and I were well dressed and we agreed to make it to that particular bench and hope for the best waiting outside.  We dragged ourselves and our belongings over to the bench - amid whistles, cat calls, requests for money, drugs and other things we did not understand but were sure were not flattering or offers to be considered. 

We had not even caught our breath before the first obviously inebriated body approached us.  We were able to deflect him but he was obviously not happy.  Suddenly, a “local” young man came from around the corner and plopped himself on the small empty spot on the bench beside me.  My immediate thought was “Oh, No! This could be trouble.”  As I steeled myself for a long night, I realized the man looked like everyone but was clear eyed and did not smell of alcohol.  I turned to look at him, and he simply said, “I’ll stay here as long as you need me.”  I thought it a rather odd thing to say but was too tired to argue; so I just sat there counting the minutes until the transport was due to arrive.  I began to notice this “local” was deflecting everyone who came our way.

The transport did finally show and my sister and I breathed a sigh of relief as we lugged our heavy belongings to it.  The young man was right behind us with the belongings we had been unable to manage on our initial trip; he deftly fit all our big things in the small trunk of the transport.

I bent my head for less than thirty seconds to get out a tip and when I looked up he was gone.  My sister and I were confused.  It was then we noticed that there were only two sets of foot prints (hers and mine) everywhere the three of us had been.

That was an example of God responding to our spoken or unspoken cry for help by sending a “one time” angel.

I did not always walk with angels and commune with all the other helper beings the universe has provided for us.

I had heard of angels, in fact a Christmas tree usually had one on top of it.  I did not realize that angels actually existed along with guides and ancestors as a valuable resource readily available to help us any time.

In my early thirties, I found myself a wife and mother and bound by the chains of end stage Parkinson’s disease.  Stiff, drooling, incontinent, unable to hold a pen or spoon, words coming out all jumbled, and all the wonders of Medical Technology within my reach, I continued to deteriorate.  I spent long periods confined to bed with many, many hours to review my situation.

I determined that all my years of training as a registered nurse and all my life experience were of no value in the world in which I now found myself.  I had certainly tried the appropriate medical treatments with little or no results.  I decided that if looking inside the box for all the answers did not work, perhaps it was time to look outside the box.  What did I have to lose?  I had given man (medical science) the chance to fix me and I could not even get out bed by myself.  So I decided to go to the Source.  I said to the universe, “God, you made me; you fix me.  It’s time for the real thing; no generic parts list or factory substitutions.”

Zappo!  Nothing – at least not instantaneously!  However, over the next few weeks, as I had left myself open to receive, I began to receive small answers in synchronicities and coincidences.  As I learned to open myself up more, I began to realize that these signs and symbols that were falling onto my path were at the hands of helper beings.

What I now see as angels, guides, and deceased loved ones, I saw for many years as just “helper beings”.  I had just lumped them all together as helpers from heaven, not really caring about what rank or status they held.

I do not believe I am alone in my desire to communicate with these beings.  As a teacher, one of the most popular questions from my students continues to be, “What do my angels look like, and can you draw them?”

This book attempts to help you identify and communicate with the three planes most commonly known in the human energetic field as ancestors, guides, and angels. 

At first you see nothing, do not worry.  That is how most people start.  Just keep at it and you will get results.  The biggest mistake people make in trying to see any of the helper beings, or in fact anything in the aura, is that they try too hard.  When you look at the aura, do not squint and try to pull anything out of it.  That is hard work and is usually unsuccessful.  Just gaze lazily in the area in which you are interested, and allow things to come to you as opposed to going to them.

And do not give up.  They are real – it may take time, but you will find them.

1 Introduction

In our fast-paced, instant world of the 21^st century, we have greatly changed from previous generations.  Some of the change is good, as technology and medicine have improved most people’s the standard of living.  However, some of it has left us isolated, and reliant on the technology.  We prize self-reliance, demand instant answers to all our questions, and instant solutions to all our problems.

Years ago, we used to reach out for help.  We relied on spiritual guidance, or on other beings - guides, angels and ancestors - that were commonly accessible through spiritual or energetic practices.  However, today, these beings have been relegated to the back shelf.  At best, we use angels as tree toppers at Christmas time or relegate them to be frilly little things for decorating house and home.  If we even mention talking to or hearing from guides, or communicating with departed family members, we will be greeted with strange looks and considered to be a candidate for a psych ward.

What a pity!

In our sophistication of the 21^st century, we have discarded those things of the past that cannot be easily explained and are not of a sufficiently sensational manner to merit funding for additional research.  Angels, guides, and ancestors fall into this category. 

However, these energetic bodies are all available to us for help us and provide information for decision making.  But, sadly, we do not know how to hear them or access their knowledge.  We certainly are not educated about beings.

Alternatively, home environments no longer provide learning opportunities for the younger generation to develop communication practices for the unseen, nor any chance for the young to practice under the watchful eyes of the older, experienced generations.  A child’s “invisible friend” is considered to be cute.  It is whimsical; it is creative.  It is, in reality, his birth guide or angel.  However, it is also something taught to be discarded before adulthood.  Therefore, most children learn to shut the door on this part of their life well before entering kindergarten.  Children do as they see adults doing, and that includes life without help from the other side.  Sadly, when the time comes to need to gain access to that door again, they have forgotten how, or lack the confidence and belief that they can do it.

This book cannot reverse the technological and environmental changes that have occurred, nor would that be appropriate.  Instead, this book sets out to provide an alternative training means for recognizing opportunities to develop a relationship with these helper beings.

The journey will include theory and instruction in the human energy field, also known as the subtle body.  This energy field surrounds the physical body and is the communication layer between the physical body and the helper beings.

You will be introduced to concepts such as auras and chakras.  Auras are energy fields that surround the physical body.  Chakras are energy processing centers within the physical body. 

The introduction of the human energy field will be your road map to the higher reaches where angels, guides, and ancestors can be found.

Let the journey begin!

Angel Card Readings -without the instruction book (Show Me Series)

 SHOW ME - READING ANGEL CARDS

You needn't memorize the instruction book before reading  cards for fun or profit In fact, I encourage my students to throw out the instruction book before looking at it.

Every deck of oracle cards comes with book or sheet of paper  -usually in teeny tiny print- giving you the literal meaning of each card and pretty much set you free to memorize and read.  

However when you actually try to read cards, you find yourself frantically flipping through the little booklet.

Even so, when  you get the definition(s) correct, it sounds conjured and stiff.

The best readers I know only take the briefest of glances at the manual or ditch it altogether.   They also prefer cards with no writing or explanation on the cards themselves.

If you think about it ..if you draw the same card for ten people the odds against  it meaning exactly the same thing for all ten people are staggering.

Let's look at a simple one card draw for example- Say, we draw Raye from one of the Doreen Virtue decks.
Once you've read the little phrase at the bottom out, you are stuck, your brain won't let it think of any other meaning.  What if the literal meaning does not make sense??  What uncomfortable chit chat for the remaining 14 minutes of the reading!! So here is RAYE with the printing erased.  We get:
 
Calm down, take a deep breath and imagine you  are reading a child a story.  Anyone who has ever done the bedtime story routine knows that the child  can find differences in the picture every time it's read.  As well if  you are reading the story to more than one child at a time, they will each point out what pops out to them.  As well, if you were reading a picture book without words to your 6 year old boy, you would look at it differently and read it differently to your 4 year old girl.  Same book but different reading depending on the audience,  The same it is with  cards.

So sit a moment and sense what is popping out in this card today for this client.   (Or ask what the client what jumps out  them ).

If you client is big on colors, to them it could read:
The major color is purple the color of the third eye so this reading would be all about intuition or psychic ability.
The lady is dressed in blacks and  basics - reading pertains to the crux of whatever the issue is.
She's obviously being still, meditating or perhaps in lotus position for yoga.  
As she does this Light streams in and illuminates the situation so she can get answered.  
The smaller amount of green light indicates the whole situation is to do with healing.
Some people would see the wings a separate and indicative of being surrounded by angels.
Bottom line reading would be...spend time in prayer/meditation/yoga/what ever works for you - do it intensely and you will get the answers you're seeking.

How did we do?

  " Yoga and exercise are essential to your underlying peace of mind and spiritual well being right now."

We expanded the reading, personalized and made it flow while preserving the basic message and without using the book.
